Certain kinds of food like pulses should be
given up. They are prohibited by Dharma because they are
generative of life and so eating them amounts to violence.
Moreover, according to the science of health and physiology, by
the mixing of certain things, certain substances that can cause
chemical reactions, are produced. They convert foreign substances
into poisons which get into the body Since they do not get out of
the body in the form of perspiration etc., they get into blood
and pollute it. On account of this it may become polluted and
ooze out causing skin-diseases. Therefore, We should not eat raw
pulses like green gram, black gram, bengal gram, beans etc.,
mixing them with raw milk or curds. The Jain dharma has
prohibited the consumption of such food under the name, Dwidal
Tyag(The renunciation of pulses).In addition to this, we should
not consume such thlngs as fruit salad, ice-cream,
fruit-shrikand(fruit slices mixed with sugar and curds),Dahi
fruit(fruit mixed with curds) and all antibiotic medicines since
they are made up of different substances the combination of which
is harmful to our health.
